integral of 1/((x^2-2x+2))

\int \frac{1}{( x ^{2} - 2 x + 2 )} d x

arctan (x - 1) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - 2 x + 2} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} - 2 x + 2 : (x - 1)^{2} + 1

= \int \frac{1}{( x - 1 ) ^{2} + 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = arctan (u)

= arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = x - 1

= arctan (x - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (x - 1) + C
